Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: This company seems to check all the boxes. Gaining share in a market, operating a capital-light business model that is tech-enabled with the network-effects of a platform connecting independent real estate professionals to lenders while growing new lines of business adjacent to their bread and butter (in Title Insurance and Data). Does this company seem too good to be true and there's some suspicious going on that we don't understand as minority shareholders?

If the business is so good, go high margin and so easy to win deals with Tier 1/2/3 suppliers doesn't that sounds like there barriers to entry are low and there may be increasing competitive forces coming up the rear end?

Q: I must live under a rock. I had no idea regarding the OSFI restrictions on banks. Did this happen during the previous financial crises as well? How common is it for OSFI to feel it needs to act to help preserve the banks' financial strength?

Q: GRT.UN: Only 33% is from magna bldgs - the rest is modern warehouse set-ups that cater to the on-line commerce that is evolving more quickly with CV19 is my understanding; however, as the vaccines are rolled out will this not have a negative effect initially on the unit price? I'd love to buy; but, seems very expensive right now. A full position for me would be 1500 shares. Comments please.

Q: I hold the above companies in my TFSA and they represent my Tech holdings. I am getting a little overweight in my tech sector and am wondering if any of my holdings are in essence duplications. If so could you recommend which ones to sell.
I have a list of buys, including CAE, TFII, XBC, GOOS, and would redeploy the capital plus some of my cash to these positions. Of my potential buys in what order would you see as the best opportunities.
